'Sbvony.'  

OK, I'll ask: how do you pronounce this???

Isn't it the other way around, "Svbony" ?  Much easier to say.

Yes, as @Gfamily says, I think your misspelling is making life even harder for you! 🤣

Heh heh, it makes little difference to me! Svbony Sbvony, Schvbony, Schbvony, what's the difference?

I've been saying SV-Bony. Never considered it as one word. A lot of their products are prefixed SVxxx

There's probably a betacism in there somewhere.

I've heard it pronounced that way in YouTube videos. Then again, I've heard eyepiece reviewers on YouTube saying "Possl".

Not sure about this. 🤔

Nah, I’m in the S, V, bony camp.

[ollypenrice]

I suppose an English speaker shouldn't growl too loudly since we have a word with six consecutive consonants.*

At the other end of the scale I live near a French village called Eyguians which I consider to be an example of irritable vowel syndrome.

*Kinghtsbridge. We're used to it but imagine a rational being looking at ghtsbr in the middle of the word and preferring Svbony any day. 

[Highburymark]

Is that ‘bony’ as in Boney M (showing my age now)? Or ‘bony’ as in mine lies over the ocean?

Oh gawd, I'm turning into a teenage texter. Of course, to do it properly I have to be driving a car at the same time...

We also have one that is only six consonants.  And it's related to astronomy: syzygy.

Do we? Time for the dictionary. (I've heard it said by sausages, though, while frying in a pan.)

That is a real thing?

Reminds me of wysiwyg

 

[johninderby]

However it’s pronounced had some good value bits from them. A set of T2 extenstions arrived this aft and as well made as the Baader ones but a lot cheaper. 👍🏻

It's in my Collins English Dictionary and Thesaurus.  It's (not unsurprisingly, perhaps) the last word under 'S'.

James

[johninderby]

From an online dictionary.

At first glance, syzygy appears to be a somewhat singular member of the English language. Despite its appearance, however, it does have etymological ties to a few words in Modern English. Syzygy can be traced to the Greek syzygos ("yoked together"), a combination of syn- ("with, together with") and zygon ("yoke").

I had a feeling there was another similar word relating to brewing, but now I've remembered the word it turns out to be two sets of three consonants separated by a vowel, which is nowhere near as impressive: zymurgy.

...a position in which I suspect it is fairly secure!

Not sure why all you are so sarcastic about this company and its name. Their T2 and M48 extender sets are cheap (a fraction of the price from our UK/EU dealers) and works great, and really good to have in excess when you struggle to get the right distances in your rig, but I would probably not try the rest of their offerings.....

Let me guess. Zymurgy, a depressive state afflicting brewers whose ales refuse to clarify and have excessive deposits of a largely brown character at the bottom of the barrel. Also a digestive disorder brought on by imbibing such ales.

I actually like the way it sounds pronounced like that.
